For Pete… when he sobers up tomorrow.

Manny Pacquiao….

….is amazing. He deserves all success.

But the real entertainment of the evening was during his entrance, when this couple was shown on HBO’s international broadcast.

1800 Pet Meds

I am annoyed by the 1800 pet meds commercials because Betty White has a virtual zoo at her feet. If you know my schnauzer, you know that he can see animals on the TV, and he attacks them. He attacks all types of animals: AFLAC duck, sharks, zebras, cows, Muppets, cats, dogs, birds, unicorns, animated lions, etc.

So naturally, Betty White’s menagerie makes him angry

I do, however, love 1800petmeds. About an hour ago I placed an order. I used a 10% off coupon that expired a month ago but still worked, and used ebates.com for another 8% off. I just got an email that my order shipped already.

In summary, I will order from them again, but I still dislike the commericals.

Sponge Bob was hiding something

A terrible bruise! Yet another reason why I hate blood draws.

I had blood drawn today

I am 27, almost 28 – and I surely got a Sponge Bob band-aid!

How to tell you live in the midwest

You see evil cloud formations like this.

I am really proud of this photo

One of my bestest friends had her baby on Friday (yes, Friday the 13th). We visited them on Saturday, and I snapped this picture. I think it’s one of my best.

Is there anything better than this?

Heaven in Illinois

There are things I miss from PA.

1. Hills. Every time I pick PA people up from the airport, within 30 minutes, they say, “Man… it’s FLAT here”. And its true.
2. Tastycakes. But not Butterscotch Krumpets. I once ate too many and nearly krumpted them all back up.
3. Herlochers Dipping Mustard. I remember watching Pirates games with a jar of mustard and some hard pretzels. So good…. sweet, tangy, yummy. Their website says they sell in Illinois, but I haven’t seen any.
4. Wenger’s Ham Loaf. It.is.so.good. Any there’s nothing like it in Illinois. I’ve tried to make something similar, and it was ok, but… just not like the real thing.
5. YUENGLING!!!! There is nothing that you need ID to buy that is better than Yuengling. I miss it. It was my go-to drink when I went to a bar. It was a no brainer: you always led with a Yuengling. The first couple months after I moved to Illinois, the waitress would ask me, “What do you want to drink?” and I would say “…I don’t know.” So sad.

   I do have a couple bottles here at the house. I’m drinking one now, but only because the Penguins are in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Its like champagne in our house. Ney. Yuengling is more exclusive than champagne.
